Washing clothes in this place can cause breast cancer

Breast cancer has always been a common disease among women. So what are the causes of breast cancer in women?

Although breastfeeding women are at high risk of mastitis, other factors that cause mastitis cannot be ignored. To prevent mastitis, you must correct your bad habit of machine washing your underwear. Be careful that improper cleaning of underwear may also cause mastitis. Today we will learn about the prevention methods of mastitis and see how mastitis is linked to underwear.

This is a common bad habit among people. As a girl, do you also have this habit?

I often pile my clothes together and wash them all at once on the weekend, even my underwear. And you always like to put all the clothes, including outerwear, socks, underwear, and pants, into the washing machine together, quickly pour in an uncertain amount of detergent or laundry liquid, cover the washing machine lid, and get it done at once? If you have such bad habits, be careful. Because women's health and diseases are often inseparable from the details of life. For example, mastitis is related to underwear and also to the way the underwear is washed. Washing underwear together with other clothes can easily result in unclean cleaning of the underwear and cause mastitis.

Behavior that causes mastitis 1: Improper cleaning of underwear

Mastitis is common in breastfeeding women. Generally speaking, acute mastitis can be treated with good results in a relatively short period of time. However, if not treated properly, the course of the disease will be prolonged and may even lead to systemic suppurative infection, and in severe cases, breast cancer. If you want to prevent breast cancer, you must pay attention to the cleaning method of your underwear. According to data, women who wash their bras in machines are 3-5 times more likely to develop mastitis than those who wash their bras by hand. This is because when bras are put into the washing machine together with other clothes for washing, the pulsator and water flow of the washing machine will make the fluff, threads and other tiny fibers on the clothes easily adhere to the bras. When women wear such bras, the tiny fibers will stick to the nipples and even block the milk ducts, causing infection and mastitis.

Behavior that causes mastitis 2: Unclear underwear

Some women use soap and enzyme-added laundry detergent to wash their underwear, including bras and panties. However, if the bra is not cleaned properly, it can also cause mastitis. Especially for enzyme laundry detergent, if it is not rinsed clean and not thoroughly, there will be residues of enzyme laundry detergent on the bra, which will erode the epithelial cells on the surface of the breast, causing pathological changes and inducing mastitis.

Therefore, although mastitis is not cancer, if mastitis is not treated correctly or prevented, it can easily worsen the condition and even cause breast cancer. Female friends must pay attention to this, wash their underwear correctly, and effectively prevent mastitis.
